sometimes when john boehner has to go to those 80 or 100 democrats, sometimes that means john boehner has to give up something. one of the problems republicans have confronted in this new era of politics is when you have big -- if you're conservative, saying i'm going to stand up to john boehner, i don't think he's conservative enough, that forces john boehner to have to go back to democrats to pass legislation, that ends up undercutting the republican position. >> not only that and i have to get to this and i know -- hogan, i halfway promised myself i wouldn't do it but i have to. the guy that's going to be the whip, the guy that has to corral the votes, whip the vote for john boehner is still a guy named steve scalise who at once called himself david duke without the baggage. in the end, even though he's going to get the position doesn't this hurt the republican party brand every time he has to go forward and whip votes? he has to be a public persona. >> i think he can handle the brand damage over time. i think what will make republicans sit up and pay attention, and this does the s

regarding john boehner. i fear now that we're going to get someone obviously much more conservative, like kvetch mccarthy who is a tea partier, very close to the right wing tea party point of view of the republican party. and i think this is dangerous and it's going to make the ideological divide even worse, far worse. i think as a democrat myself a liberal progressive democrat and an atheist also myself, i'm concerned about not only fundamentalist christianity aligned with the republican party, which it is, but also gerrymandering in many, many states, which is how, starting in 2010, with the gerrymandering, republicans were able to capture so many districts for the house of representatives. with the senate as well as the president, the whole state votes for senators and the whole state votes for president. but with the congress, the districts, like john boehner's district or any other congressional district, it can be gerrymandered so you can get virtually 95%, 9 % republicans voting and a small minority w

only 19% trust john boehner. and in the wake of tonight's developments i would imagine those numbers would get a little worse for the speaker of the house. joining me tonight, former governor howard dean of vermont and cnbc political analyst. mr. dean, good to have you with us, governor. >> thanks, ed. >> give us in short order your commentary without question, what do you think has happened here this evening? >> well, the inside baseball of this is really a problem for the speaker. you can't -- this is something you can't do. you can't have your budget overridden, as governors know, and you can't have a major initiative like this go down when you think you have the votes and you don't. it would not entirely surprise me to see eric cantor or kevin mccarthy, who've been waiting in the wings, kind of gently stack the speaker in the back for a couple years, to make their move after the new session starts. the fiscal cliff, as you know, i believe the country would be better off if we went over the fiscal cliff. we wo

john boehner is one of 12 children. he came from running ohio, i have seen his house, he was in a room with his brothers and sisters, his parents slept on a pull-out couch. never in a million years did he think he would graduate from college, be a successful businessman, get to congress, much less become speaker of the house. for him to have the pope next to him, i personally think from reading him for awhile, that was the highest of high and he saw what was on the horizon for the next few months. he could get through it if he wanted to but he would put a lot of his friends through difficult votes if they were to end up supporting him in one of those vacate the chair elections and thought this was the right time. he's not a legacy guy as he said today. i'm going to be very interested to see what he does after his time here in congress. i suspect he will go to his favorite pursuit which is golf. he's giot a very good handicap. he's got the place down in florida. but quite a striking turn of events. what's going to happen
